Burn or Bust

If you have never heard of it go and google it now. It is the wildest, craziest event ever. People who have never been always want to know who is playing - who is headlining. Well the simple answer is we all do. It is about people not stars. If you want to run round naked as a flower do it. If you want to spend months building a work of art and then burn it to ground then do it.

I went last year and had so much fun. I couldn't wait to go back with Amy. We were so excited we took a picture of us collecting the tickets from the Post Office. But Burning Man is not cheap.

First of all you have to buy the tickets ($225 each), then you have to fly to Reno ($400ish each), then you have to hire something to get there in ($500), by all your food, booze and water for a week ($600), buy your camping equipment ($300), book a hotel room in Reno to clean yourself up in when it is all done ($150).

It is over $1000 a person. Yikes.

It is a shame weren't not going this summer but i'm not that devastated. It will be around next summer and we will both be there then.

See you on the Playa in 2009.

AMY SAYS...

I am devastated for Gareth. He was so excited to go and I told him I would do whatever I could to make it happen this year! If anyone has a brain fart on the matter....?
